A much cheaper way than buying all the mini dolls! BooksYou Will Need:Paper (sturdy, I use sugar paper) Book Covers Glue Method:1.) Cut out your book cover. 2.) Trace around it twice on paper, then add extra for a spine. Put Another line for the spine after first line. The spine in the middle is where you fold.The spine we added on to cut out is just for having the right size rectangle. 3.) Fold along either side of the spine. 4.) Glue your cover onto the book 5.) If you want, add on a title on Your spine. This is a really easy craft. In about half an hour, I made the entire Anne Of Green Gables series (there are eight books). Spines! Covers! Measurements: My book covers are approximately 5cm x 3.5 cm. You may need to do some experimenting first. This size of book is good for play, but for films, you might want something a little bigger. Just try a few different sizes, and you’ll figure out the best ones. Also, these books are designed for AG dolls. Different size dolls with obviously smaller or larger proportions will need different sizes.] Enjoy!

I've done that before, because my dolls need something to read other than AG magazines and "Brave Emily". So now they have more summer reading! =]

This instructions are a wee bit confusing to me, but I might try it sometime. Right now my dolls read Meet Kit, Meet Julie, and their AG Mags.

What's 'sugar paper'?

It is construction paper basically. Not quite card, but not as flimsy as normal writing paper. I am using the English word for it, sorry!
